ppefmhEdGarstinIncorrectThe method for measuring the speed of sound in air is shown below.

Person A holds a pair of cymbals and person B holds a timer.

56714Person B starts timing when they see person A crash the cymbals together. They stop timing when they hear the sound of the cymbals.

To calculate the speed of the sound waves, we divide the distance between persons A and B by the time.

There are two main sources of inaccuracy in this method.
